Re: Low cost Netbooks for scouting
Whether they are stretched for 100 feet or 5 feet, extension cords are a tripping hazard if they cross any path where people walk. Particularly if another urgent situtaion has people moving in a hurry, or if many people are moving at the same time.
Don't create hazards.
Install cords correctly and with the permission of the event organizer, or use paper, or only recharge so close the outlet that no hazard is created. The choice is simple and using an extension cord is not the default answer.
